Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Steelers' one glaring miss is interior defensive lineman, a need they left exactly as they found it.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Allar has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They read the board right and Emmanuel Pregnon was the payoff at pick No. 53. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick76 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at slot 76 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
No drama and no debate, Zakee Wheatley went about where he belonged in pick 85. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Devin Moore
They let Devin Moore come to them and pounced at the 99th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jack Endries at No. 121 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A premium they did not need to pay, Drew Allar a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
